Scrapchat 115, 21st April 2024:

An awesome copper cleaning experiment and fab skip dumpster dive for goodies, plus some tearing down vintage bits & bobs and a good look at my shoulder tattoos. Also the most stunning brass object I have ever found and will use for future casting

SCRAPCHAT live premiers will now be on Sunday at 9 or 10pm


If you are new here, I can't currently commit to a regular livestream due to my daughters complex needs so I try to do a regular weekly scrap chat premier as a way of chatting and keeping in touch with you guys whilst showing what I've been up to during the week. I was away for over a year nursing my youngest who had cancer but he devastatingly passed away in December 2023. Life is very tough, grieving for a child is the worst pain imaginable, but I am determined to carry on for the others and find joy in the thigs I can, because life is short and my promise to Benny is that I am not going to waste it!! I need to have some stories to tell him when we are all back together again!! Many of you know that Benny wasn't my biological child, but I raised him and loved him as my own, he is my great nephew who I took on when my sister passed away, but I couldn't love or miss him any more than I do right now and I'll honour him for the rest of my life!

I also am a bodycam girl, it isn't for everyone, if you get dizzy or seasick them bodycam isn't for you! I've tried a tripod on my bench but it just isn't practical, I don't have the space, hopefully when I get my bigger workshop next year I can set up a tripod and lose the bodycam, but for now I work with what I've got!

I'm fully licenced for my area and ask prior permission for items inside skips and so far nobody has ever said no, they want the extra space :) I still do quick dives to avoid passing comments, especially as I'm usually out in the evening.

Some lovely people have asked to send me the odd gift, to avoid us both extra fees (shipping for you and forwarding address fees for me) I have, like many finally set up an Amazon wish list. If there is something you would like to send that isn't on my list, then email me on the address on my about page and I'll add the product in if it's available on amazon UK. Any gifts to my forwarding address are of course still welcome and very much appreciated too!! You can email me on the address on my about page. Lots of resin moulds on my wish list too ;)

Sometimes Amazon plays up and my address doesn't come up in other territories or with non amazon products. If this happens but you still want to get me something off of my list you can send me a friends and family PayPal and tell me what to purchase. You may have to work out the cost in other currencies. I'll do a video shout out when they arrive 🙂
